Setting up Okta Verify on your Smartphone (Public)

NOTE: if you are using a Chromebook and you have never set up Okta Verify before (or IT has "removed all of your authenticators"), you just have to attempt sign-in on your device to see the QR code! No need to go to your Okta Dashboard. Skip right to Step 6!

All Mac Users should start at Step 1. 

 

Step 1

• Open up your browser (on your LAPTOP) and go to hazel.okta.com
• Then open the dropdown menu and click "My Settings"

Step 2

• On the settings page, click "Manage security methods"

Step 3

• Click the "Set up" button next to Okta Verify

Step 4

• Enter your Okta password when prompted and click "Verify
  
  

Step 5

• Click "Set up" on the next screen
  
  

Step 6

• Now you should see the screen below, leave that tab open and navigate to the Okta Verify app on your phone. 

Step 7

• Click "Add Account" to get started
  
  

Step 8

Step 9

• Click "Add Account from Another Device"
  
  

Step 10

• Click "Scan QR Code"
  
  

Step 11

• Click "Enable"

Step 12

• At this point, you'll want to go back to the browser tab with the QR code in it. 
  • • If you are using your phone for the browser and the app setup click the "Can't Scan" button and follow those instructions. 
    • If you have the QR code pulled up on a different device, scan the code on the screen
      
      

Step 13
